BMW may be moving forward to production with the 6 cylinder concept (K1600R) motorcycle

Most of you know that BMW launched the first modern production 6 cylinder bike this year, the K1600 GT and GTL. Visor Down reports BMW wants to get more out of the development cost of the motor by putting it into a sport bike. It makes sense to us and BMW did release the Concept 6 bike which featured a sport bike based on the 6 cylinder powerplant. The bike would effectively replace the K1300R but would need some massaging as the K1300 4 cylinder puts out 173 horsepower vs. 160 HP of the 6 in the K1600 GT and GTL.
